Origin Story

在战国时期，诸侯之间经常发生战争，各国都为了争夺地盘和利益而互相征战。有一天，齐国和楚国两国发生了战争，齐国军队势如破竹，很快就攻到了楚国城下。楚王见大势已去，便下令全城戒备，并召集众将商议对策。 这时，有一位将军站出来，说：“大王不必担心，我们现在应该当仁不让，主动出击，才能扭转乾坤！” 楚王问他：“可是我们现在已经处于劣势，如何才能主动出击呢？” 将军说：“大王可以派我去攻打齐国军队的粮草辎重，如果我能攻下他们的粮草，他们就会失去补给，士气就会低落，我们就能反败为胜。” 楚王听了，觉得这个方法可行，于是便派将军率领精兵去攻打齐军的粮草。 将军领命后，率领士兵们昼夜兼程，终于赶到了齐军的粮草营地。齐军并没有防备，将军趁机率领士兵们冲进粮草营地，将齐军的粮草全部烧毁。 齐军失去了粮草，士气大跌，士气大跌，战斗力也下降了很多。楚军趁机反攻，最终取得了胜利。 这场战争的胜利，主要得益于那位将军的当仁不让，敢于担当的精神。

During the Warring States period in China, there were many wars between the various states, all vying for land and influence. One day, a war broke out between Qi and Chu, and the army of Qi quickly conquered the land of Chu. The King of Chu saw that he was on the verge of defeat, and ordered the entire city to defend itself. He summoned his generals to a meeting. A general stepped forward and said: “Your Majesty, don’t worry. We should now take responsibility and attack. Only then can we turn the tide!" The King of Chu asked: “But we are now in a bad position. How should we attack?" The general said: “Your Majesty, send me with our troops to attack the camp of the army of Qi, where their supplies are stored. If I can attack them and destroy their supplies, they will have no provisions, their morale will decline, and we can win the victory.“ The King of Chu liked this plan and ordered the general to lead his best soldiers to attack the camp of the army of Qi. The general led his soldiers day and night and finally reached the camp of the army of Qi. The army of Qi was unprepared, and the general led his troops into the camp and burned all the supplies of the army of Qi. The army of Qi had no more supplies, their morale sank, and their fighting power decreased significantly. The army of Chu attacked and eventually won the victory. This victory was mainly due to the courage and determination of the general to take responsibility without hesitation.
